STOCKPORT BIRDWATCHING SOCIETY - THE FIRST 50 YEARS

STOCKPORT BIRDWATCHING SOCIETY https://stockportbirders.blogspot.com/ THE FIRST 50 YEARS This document is a big thank you to all those members past and present who over the years have made the society such a success and continue to do so. Our special thanks must go to Bullocks Coaches who have provided continued good service during this period especially during the recent Covid-19 pandemic. We must also thank our many guest speakers who have given talks on a variety of birding topics, all very interesting and informative. Our thanks also go to Heaton’s Sports Club for providing excellent and friendly service since our move there in 2010.

Tufted Duck (M Walsh) Potteric Carr Nature Reserve 13th April 2024 Weather: Mild, cloudy with a couple of showers Members and friends: 38 Driver: Glenn Thirty-eight members set off from Stockport for the society’s April trip to Potteric Carr in Yorkshire.

Mallard (D Axford) Anglers Country Park and Old Moor RSPB Reserve 16th March 2024 Weather: Mild and sunny am, cool and cloudy later on. Members and friends: 29 Driver: Glenn Twenty-nine members and friends set off from Stockport for our March trip to Yorkshire. It has been some years since our last visit to today’s destinations of Angler’s Country Park and the RSPB reserve at Old Moor. The journey was uneventful and as we approached Anglers Country Park, we ticked off Collared Dove, Pied Wagtail, Pheasant and Greylag Geese in nearby fields. The entrance to the country park was a bit tight but Glenn managed to get the coach in, albeit after scratching one side of the vehicle against a prominent tree (like nails down a blackboard!) Bullfinch (A Barrett) Disembarking from the coach, we were greeted by singing Chiffchaff by the visitor centre, the first of the year for many off us. A Song Thrush w...
